	Try the 'glimpse' package.  It contains a full featured text 
	indexing engine and command line search tool.  There is a 
	package "GlimpseGate" which provides a web interface to 
	glimpse - and it is possible to configure glimpse to make a 
	very fast, lightweight, and reasonably full-featured 
	search system for your HTML document trees.  

	I think you can find more info at the U of Arizona (recently moved
	don't have all my bookmark files handy).
